1.62 ct Violet Sapphire - Oval

This 1.62-carat color-change sapphire is cut as an oval measuring 7.4 x 6.5 x 4.6 mm, with a violet body color, sourced from Tanzania.

As a member of the corundum family, sapphire pairs deep color with a hardness that makes it one of the most durable choices for a ring worn every day. Tanzania's deposits at Songea and Tunduru produce sapphire in an unusually wide range of colors. Its color was brought up by heat, a legitimate and accepted practice that the trade discloses and we disclose here.
